  1. I wonder if they are reading books in Spanish? I would love to take my emerging Spanish Speakers on line with other students in a structured project like reading! I want to use Skype in the classroom and have had a difficult time finding a good match. This may be a great start! Thank you for the tip...

  3. Can you request another class to read with? Art. There is a great series called, Getting to Know...you would stick in your favorite artist or musician's name ex. Getting to Know Salvador Dali or Beethoven. This would be a great way to bring in other cultures from around the world to practice some of the TAP strategies after the book has been read. I could use the: Somebody, Wanted, But, So, Then strategy with the students after the book has been read.
